I've spent 823+ hours on sales calls

Have you ever had a “But why me?” moment?

I was making lunch when I got offered a high-ticket sales job.

It was casual. No resume. No interview.

Just a voice message from the owner of a company I respected:

• Take calls when I want.

• Talk to people honestly about the program.

• Earn 15% of any sales I closed.

My first thought wasn’t, “Yes.” It was, “Why me?”

Not in a self-deprecating way. More like a genuine curiosity.

You have hundreds of trained closers. I’m not a ‘salesperson.’

But my second thought was louder: “I’ll do it.”

Fast forward two years.

I’ve closed over $700,000 for that company.
Hundreds of calls. Thousands of hours.

And one realization: I was never hired to be a salesperson. I was hired to be a people person.

And it’s that genuine curiosity that makes me a “people person.”

Here’s what I’ve learned after 823+ hours on calls with people chasing big goals.

Welcome to Inspired Idiots.

So they make no choice at all.

But no choice is still a choice. It’s just a passive one—with no progress.

When’s the last time “I’ll think about it” led to real action?

Ask yourself: Where am I staying stuck just to avoid choosing?

You know what “someday” is? A story we tell ourselves to avoid feeling pressure.

But pressure is where growth lives. That’s how we level-up in life.

“Someday I’ll start a business” = no deadline, no accountability.

“I’ll get one client this month” = real. And real goals create real action.

Ask yourself: What’s one thing I could commit to doing in the next 30 days?

You don’t need to convince people. You need to connect with them.

I’ve closed sales with skeptics, cynics, and stone-cold doubters.

Not by pitching.
Not by debating.
Not by flexing logic.

But by asking better questions.

Instead of proving them wrong, I help them challenge their own beliefs.

Curiosity opens doors. Defensiveness slams them shut.

Ask yourself: Am I trying to be right—or am I trying to understand?

When I stood in my kitchen and got that sales offer, I didn’t feel “qualified.”

I just said yes—and figured it out as I went.

And I know now that I wasn’t chosen because I was the best closer.

I was chosen because I was curious, honest, and willing to show up.

That’s what people respond to.

So if you’ve been holding back on something—a new job, a goal, a conversation you’re scared to have—ask yourself:

What if I’m already the right person for this?

You don’t have to be like someone else.

You just have to say yes to being you—and start from there.
